NEWS BITES
* According to a new report from Simba Information, "Corporate
Training Markets, 1999," the corporate training market will grow at a
compound annual rate of 8.6 percent from 1999-2001. Information
technology companies are expected to garner an average market share of
61 percent through 2000, and soft-skills trainers will account for 39
percent during the same period.

LEARNING BY THE NUMBERS
Need some numbers to help make a training point? Here are some
workplace facts and stats compiled by Talent Alliance of Morristown,
New Jersey:
* Employees are more likely to stay with an organization in which they
are continually learning.
* The percentage of people who say they will change jobs within a year
is less for employees who receive job-related training (14%) than for
those who don't (24%).
* The Internet is projected to surpass all other technologies for
learning delivery by the year 2000.
* Fortune 500 companies spend an annual average of $1,300 to $1,500
per employee for training.
